DURING the night before Christmas Eve Santa and his 100 elves had still been busily making toys for little girls and boys so he would have enough presents to go around. When Santa finally thought they had enough toys made, they all had a brief rest.

The night of Christmas Eve soon arrived and Santa set about delivering toy's for all the girls and boy's.

After a while Santa only had one more little boy's toys to deliver.. these were for Zack.

Now Zack was the greediest kid alive, well when it came to toys anyway, so when Santa arrived at Zack's house, and tried to put the presents down the chimney, they didn't fit. Santa called to his reindeers for help, "Rudolph, Dasher, Dancer, Prancer can you help me to get these presents down the chimney?"

"Can't we are too busy eating!"

"Vixen, Donner, Cupid, Comet, Blitzen can you all help me?"

"But Santa, we're having a snack too!"

"We'll help you," said the elves.

So all the elves jumped on the presents.

"It won't work...you don't weigh enough!" said Santa.

He tried to call the reindeers once again but they refused to come.

Santa decided to jump on the gifts to fit them down the chimney. On his eleventh jump Santa suddenly fell down the chimney and got stuck half way down. He shouted to his elves and reindeer, "Help me I'm stuck! Can anyone hear me?" "We can hear you nice and clearly!" called back the elves. "We'll get your reindeers to come and help you.

"Reindeers come quickly Santa's stuck down the chimney!"

"For the last time we're eating!" they moaned.

There was a silence throughout the town...

But then

"Did you say Santa was stuck?"

"Yes!"

"Down the chimney?"

"Yes!" said the elves repeatedly.

"Come on reindeers, let's save Santa from the chimney!"

Finally the reindeers got onto the roof and Rudolph sprinkled some lifting dust on Santa and he rose from the chimney in about 5 seconds leaving the presents stuck.

When Christmas day arrived Zack woke up and rushed downstairs to open all his presents. But when he got to the living room he saw that he didn't have any presents.

Zack had left a trap and saw a picture of Santa, Mrs Claus, the elves and reindeer. He rushed upstairs to tell his mum and dad that he had no presents, "Mum, dad I haven't got any presents apart from a picture of the fake Santa and his family!" "We've told you Santa is real, that's probably why you didn't get any toy's. And you have been naughty all year, especially putting that trap under the chimney."
